As Colleen always says: Every day is a school day. I learned some pretty interesting things at quilt school this week. I love this flange trick I saw on an elaborate quilt at the Langley show on Friday. I have no idea how this bobble effect was achieved but I am guessing it was done by applying the flange binding with a buttonhole stitch. I will do some experimenting when I get a moment and report back.

| Flange binding possibly attached with buttonhole stitch? |
On Thursday at the PSQG meeting the North Van guild had their raffle quilt on display. Not only was the design stunning but there were several innovative techniques in the quilt. The flange binding was cut extra wide and served as a border as well as a binding. In the same photo of the binding you will see a very easy walking foot quilting pattern that appears to be free motion. This is just done by sewing alternate curved lines from point to point along the rows of blocks. Instead of trying to make them all even and symmetrical they are a little wonky which is very pleasing with the overall design of the quilt.
This entire quilt was quilted by walking foot.
